Start Gate Information

Corral Placement
Please let us know your best overall place from 2016, 2017, 2018 or 2019 edition of the Short & Fat, as this will determine your corral placement in 2020. Riders without past Chequamegon event results and who did not provide a race resume for consideration will by default be placed in the last start gate. The decision of the race officials is final. After you receive your start gate confirmation email up until September 1, you may request a gate review by email Peter Spencer at pspencer@lt.life

Placement in gatesEach participant’s start gate will be indicated on their laminated handlebar number provided at bib pickup. You may not enter start gates with a lower number, however, you may enter a start gate with a higher number. Loading in assigned gates is on a first-come, first-served basis. Please show up early to load into your gate for best placement and to ensure you will get in your gate.

New in 2020 – No Ghost Bikes Allowed at Start Line
No ghost bikes will be allowed at the start line moving forward.

Notification and request for reconsideration
Once start gate assignments have been made and you have been notified via confirmation email, you may request a further review for reassignment to another gate.

Requests for additional start gate review can be emailed to Peter Spencer pspencer@lt.life prior to September 1.
